FAQs

What materials are these trainers made from?

The trainers feature a mix of suede, oxford, and bonded leather panels, with decorative contrast nubuck detailing.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

While they offer comfort and support for walking, they are designed primarily as casual lifestyle trainers and are not intended for rigorous athletic performance.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly and brush afterwards. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first.

What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?

The dual-compound EVA midsole provides cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort during wear.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

It is recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions as the suede and leather materials can be damaged or stained. Using a protective spray can offer some resistance.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

The heel height is flat.

How do I ensure a proper fit?

Ensure your foot is comfortably placed within the shoe, with adequate room in the toe box. The laces can be adjusted for a secure fit around the ankle and midfoot.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces keep coming undone

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a material that offers better grip.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the fit is correct. Break in the shoes gradually. The dual-compound EVA midsole is designed for comfort, but initial wear may require adjustment.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can vary on highly polished or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris.

Care:
